Both the Dallas street Railway Com
pany and Ervay Street Company are
petitionirg the city council to desig-
nate which side of Main street they
shall lay their tracks. II would be RI
diculous for the city council to grant
both of these roads permission to run
down Main street srom Austin street
to the.court house. The business of
the merchants there would be ruined.
The council has got to decide in favor
of one or the other roads and that
road must take the center of the street.

YOUNG LADY CLERK: One Of the
preachers used Charity" as his SUBJ
ieot 'esterday and adv II G | some
views that | ave never heard before.
''Most people seem to imagine" said
he. chat charity deals with desperate
cases only. A wealthy lady drives
along the muddy street and finds some
person lying on the pavement starry
ing or freezing. She stops her carri-
age and does not hesitate to administer
to the sufferer. Gives food and clothing
and even conveys the poor woman TO
the hospital or to her own home. This
is called charity; but it is merely 'hu-
manity. The same wealthy lady is
driving toward her home and sees
walking in the same direction neigh
Dor who is respectable but very poor.
This neighbor wears an ordinary sun
bonnet and coarse shoes, and walks
through mud and rain because she is
unable to ride and is bound to go, and
the rich neighbor knows all this.
This is not a desperate case; it may not
appeal to the humanity Of the rich; it
appeals to her kindness, her charity
These persuade her 10 speak to the
less fortunate neighbor, to give her a
seat and carry her out of the rain to
her home. This is what is meant by n
cup of cold water CASE Charity
of this kind is very rare; is considered
directly in conflict with social po-
sition and responsibility, and actually
requires sacrifice of these in some
cases. But this is the charity of the
strong-hearted and strong-minded 1t
goes on down to recognition on the
street, at public places-cverywhere-
that many very proud and exclusive
people would refuse to approve; takes
in even "a glass Of water to 'one of
the least of these and the person,
rich or poor, who is too timid, or too
proud or too mean to give it cannot
be Il Christian or claim any acquaint-
ance with Christ" This construction
of the rule leaves out great many
church members of this city.
EDITOR: Respond G to enquiries
of "Reader" we give the following:
There are five distinct groups, we
cannot say parties, in the English
House of Commons-() the Conscrva-
tives, who support the Salisbury adj
ministration; (2) the Liberals, who
follow Mr.. Gladstone; (3) the Liberal
Unionists, who are behind Lord Hart
ington; (f the rather insignificant
personal following of Lord Randolph
Churchill; and (5) the Irish party. No
one of these has a majority. Lord
Salisbury cannot govern without Lib
eral Unionist support and Mr.. Glad
stone can accomplish nothing without
the aid of the Irish members. In this
state OF parties nothing def in the
way OF legislation is looked for at this
session.

1T possibly may DE that an indl-
vual has no rights whatever that
smart lawyer with a store of law
books aud a sympathetic Judge can
not deprive him of. The latest
legal fad is that an indivual has no
right to his own picture, or rather
to the likeness that may be taken by
means Of photography or otherwise.
In the suit to be brought by . De
troit actress and singer of local fame
this point is involved. The lady
was invited by a photographer TO
sit for Der picture. She did SO, and
not very long was It before a pateat
medicine firm adorned their bottles
with her portrait. This was not
looked upon with that delight by
the actress perhaps expected by the
photographer and medicine com
pany, and she has promptly brought
suit against both. The artist, it is
but fair to record, denies ever sell
ing the negative or print. The
main point in the case is, whether
or not the lady has any right in her
own portrait?
TopAcco.-The Wisconsin To-
baeco Reporter prints a summary of
the tobacco crop of Wisconsin, for
the present season, together with
interesting comparative figures. 1t
shows that the acreage of this years
crop Is nearly 10000, and that the
present condition of the plant is a
little below the average The couu-
ties of Dane aud Rock will raise 90
per cent. of the crop Of the state
for 1887. The assessors reported
an acreage of 5 5,25o4 in Rock county
as agsinst s,86lt last year, but The
Tobacco Reporter says the drouth
has resulted in a shrinkage of nearly
20 per cent, SO that there are now
only about $500 acres Of growing
tobacco IN the county. In Dane
county the assessors reported 1915
acres for this year, as against 1852
acres last year. The shrinkage from
drouth has cut the acreage down to
5000, smaller precentage Of de-
crease than in Rock county. The
prospects now are that growers will
harvest an Al crop. About 40 per
cent. of the crop Of lSsG-in the
neighborhood Of $4,000 boxes--re-

Editors Union The condition of the roads

had better have some attention by the county
authorities before we are assessed to pay for bene
fits which will be hard to get to over dangerous and
Objectionable roads. Take, for instance, Merry
mans lane, which is most popular and delight
full drive. At the toll-gate on Charles street
avenue it is now, and has been for years, very
obnoxious place for people who travel it, and a
disgrace to the road supervisor or authorities
having it in charge. Old vehicles, left standing
all hours of the day and night, make it exceed
ingly dangerous; manure pits, well into the line
of the road, coupled with the ofal and stagnant
cess pools flowing from the dwellings, occupy the
road bed in deep holes and cutters, detriment
to health, obnoxious to pleasure-drivers and a
nuisance to the neighborhood generally.
